Radeon R5 M330 vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1175 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 1024 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 560 will be 696% quicker than the Radeon R5 M330 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 100288 (696%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 will be much (about 265%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		20600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 54600 (265%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 560 is superior to the Radeon R5 M330, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		8240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 10560 (128%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
